As children play, without to-morrow,
Without Yesterday.
Agnes Robinson

Shall those smiles be called
Feelers of love, put forth as if to explore
This untried world?

When children are playing alone on the green,
In comes the playmate that never was seen.

either for good or evil.

What does little baby say,
In her bed at peep of day?
Baby says, like little birdie,
Let me rise and fly away.
Baby sleep a little longer,
Till the little limbs are stronger,
If she sleeps a little longer
Baby too, shall fly away.
Tennyson
